ATD Tools and Supplies Shop Press
ATD Tools and the Shop Press: Decades of Professional-Grade Pressing Power
ATD Tools and Supplies has been engineering professional automotive tools since 1977, and their lineup of shop presses reflects that deep institutional knowledge. Where many tool brands treat the shop press as an afterthought, ATD has built a structured range — from 20-ton bench workhorses to massive 100-ton industrial units — specifically designed to meet the demands of working automotive and industrial shops.
What Sets ATD Shop Presses Apart
ATD's tools and equipment are quality control tested at the manufacturer, by independent labs, and in the field to ensure they meet the performance and durability professional mechanics demand. That commitment shows up directly in how their shop presses are engineered. The ATD 7454 20-Ton Hydraulic Shop Press meets or exceeds ASME PASE 2019 standards — a benchmark that matters in professional settings where safety and repeatability are non-negotiable.
The ATD 7454 20-Ton Hydraulic Shop Press with Bottle Jack is a floor-standing press built for professional automotive and industrial use, featuring welded steel construction and a multi-position bed for adjusting working height — making it ideal for pressing bearings, pulleys, gears, and other shop jobs.
A Tiered Lineup for Every Shop's Needs
ATD's shop press range scales to match the intensity of the work at hand. Their core hydraulic models cover the most common professional use cases:
- 20-Ton (ATD-7454B): The ATD 20-Ton Shop Press delivers powerful performance for a variety of pressing applications, weighing 209.4 lbs and measuring approximately 61.8 inches tall, with a 20-ton pressing capacity suitable for demanding workshop requirements.
- 25-Ton (ATD-7455A): Features a 25-ton capacity, a 6-inch ram stroke, eight adjustable bed positions, and a 59-inch-tall frame — with arbor plates and a bearing punch included.
- 50-Ton (ATD-7457): The ATD 50-Ton Shop Press with Guard features a fully welded double-speed pump and a self-locking hand winch that allows easy positioning of the bed.
- 100-Ton (ATD-7463): The ATD 100-Ton Shop Press with Safety Guard features a double-speed pump for improved efficiency and a foot-control air valve that allows hands-free air motor operation.
Built for Real Automotive Work
Across the lineup, ATD shop presses share a set of features tuned to the realities of production shop work. Key capabilities include automatic ram retraction when the jack valve is opened, a multi-position bed for work height adjustment, rigid steel channel frames, and a hydraulic bypass mechanism that protects the system from internal damage. These are not luxury refinements — they are practical features that reduce fatigue and protect both the operator and the equipment during repetitive pressing cycles.
ATD shop presses are ideal for the removal and installation of gears, U-joints, bearings, and pulleys — exactly the kind of repetitive, high-force work that defines drivetrain and suspension service. Whether you are rebuilding a differential, pressing wheel bearings, or straightening a bent component, ATD's hydraulic shop presses offer the controlled force and adjustable workspace to do the job safely and precisely.
